Catholic Education Week
May 1 – 5, 2017 is Catholic Education Week. This week is an important time for us to celebrate our relationships as members of home, school, parish and extended communi-ties. All of us play an important part in main-taining our Catholic school system. This year’s celebration centers on the theme “Walking Forward Together”. We will be celebrating in our school with daily prayers and lessons in our class-rooms that address the Catholic themes. On Tuesday, May 2nd students will be treated to a musical performance by “The Sultans of Swing.” We will be celebrating with our parish on May 3rd at 10:00 a.m. along with the stu-dents from St. John XXIII School. It will be a very full house, but you are all welcome to attend. On May 4th, our grade 7 and 8 stu-dents will be bused to St. Joseph’s High School to attend the performing arts Coffee house.
